The German Baltic Sea coast is a paradise for convertible drivers. Here, you can expect endless sandy beaches, picturesque country roads, charming Hanseatic towns, and spectacular coastal panoramas. This convertible tour takes you from Kiel to Lübeck, Rostock, Rügen, and Usedom, along a varied route full of driving fun, sightseeing, and moments of relaxation.

Whether you are planning an extended weekend or a longer convertible trip, the well-developed coastal roads offer pure driving pleasure, while numerous stops along the route make the maritime beauty of Northern Germany accessible.

Stage 1: Convertible from Kiel to Lübeck

The convertible road trip starts in Kiel, a lively port city with a long maritime tradition. Before you set off, it's worth taking a stroll along the harbor, where huge ferries and cruise ships depart. Particularly impressive is the Kiel Canal, the most navigated artificial waterway in the world.

From Kiel, you head towards Lübeck on the B502, one of the most beautiful Hanseatic cities in Northern Germany. The convertible route winds through the gently rolling hills of the Holstein Switzerland and along idyllic coastal roads. A short detour to Plön Castle or to the Selenter Lake is worthwhile for a relaxing break.

Upon arriving in Lübeck, you should take your time to wander around the Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The famous Holstentor, the impressive churches, and the small streets with historical brick buildings give the city a unique flair. Enjoy a maritime fish specialty at the harbor or try the famous Lübeck marzipan.

Stage 2: From Lübeck to Rostock – Coastal Flair and Seaside Resorts

From Lübeck, the route continues along the Baltic Sea on the B75. Here, Timmendorfer Strand and Travemünde invite you for a short stop. The long beaches, beautiful promenade, and numerous cafés offer the perfect opportunity for a little break.

Driving along the coast takes you through small fishing villages and gentle hilly landscapes to Rostock, one of the oldest Hanseatic cities in Germany. The city delights with a mix of medieval architecture, maritime flair, and a lively Old Town. Highlights include the Rostock Town Hall, the imposing St. Mary's Church, and the large port with its numerous restaurants and bars.

A detour to Warnemünde is also worthwhile. The charming seaside resort is known for its white beaches, historic lighthouse, and the picturesque Alter Strom with its fishing boats and cafés.

Stage 3: From Rostock via Rügen to Usedom

The next stage takes you to Germany's largest island: Rügen. You reach the island via the impressive Rügen Bridge, which impresses with spectacular landscapes, long sandy beaches, and elegant seaside resorts.

A highlight is the Jasmund National Park with its famous chalk cliffs. The breathtaking white cliffs rise high above the sea and offer one of the most spectacular views along the entire Baltic Sea coast.

Next, you head to Binz, the largest seaside resort on the island. The white spa-style villas along the promenade, the long pier, and the stylish cafés make it the perfect stop. Another highlight is Sellin, whose pier with its historic structure towers above the water.

After an impressive drive along the coastal roads, the convertible tour continues to Usedom, one of the sunniest regions in Germany. The island is famous for its magnificent imperial resorts Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin. Particularly noteworthy are the elegant spa architecture villas and the long promenades with direct views of the Baltic Sea.
